So This Isn't an Annual Thing?

I know this is late but what the hey, right? (And since another game's been set up tomorrow, I better do this quick...)

So the 2nd round of the 4J93 Texas Hold 'Em Poker SHUT UP AND DEAL! was held last Saturday at-- where else?-- Budoy's place. This time around a lot more people showed up: aside from Budoy, there was myself, Ching, Conci (and Tini upstairs), Rhoch, Rjay and Leslie, plus [identity-protected] and her friends Basha, Steph and Katz.

Good thing too as the 2nd round proved the 4J Poker Night wasn't an annual thing: the first game was last year and after the 1st round this January, I thought that was it.

Anyway, it was Budoy's turn to shine as he took the first game of the night, beating out me, [identity-protected], Katz, Conci, and Rhoch to take the pot. I gotta admit it was pretty exhilirating since I had to go up against Budoy (who had most of the chips at that time) as the last two players standing. Declaring "all-in", I beat Budoy thrice before my luck ran out.

The second game had Budoy, Leslie and Rjay, Rhoch, Ching, Basha, Conci and [identity-protected] playing. Since there were more players, it took a short bit before people got eliminated. In the end, it was down to Budoy against and Basha with an almost equal number of chips each. But it was Budoy who had the better cards, becoming the champion of the night.

Hmmm... so I suppose the winners' round-up of the 4J93 Texas Hold 'Em Poker SHUT UP AND DEAL! would include:

1. [identity-protected] for the single round last year
2. Dino and Conci tied for the 1st round, 2006
3. and Budoy for the 2nd round, 2006.

Congrats people!
